through all the big hills and we're down to the original helicopter pad
that the little machine was delivered at in 2005 (the flat spot on the
right). All the area in front has to be filled from the yet remaining
hill on the left so that the flyover area is wide enough for the planes
to come down. To give you a sense of the scale we're working with, look
at the edge of the dirt and grass of the helicopter pad. There's a grey
and black verticle smudge... Well, that's a guy walking on the other
side of the airstrip... Yeah, this is a big project. Unfortunately we
haven't been able to do much work this year yet as it's still pretty
rainy, but there are a few days that it's dry enough to drive for a
couple hours. In the last thirty-five days I've gotten fifty hours of
driving in... Not very impressive, but the work done in that time is
pretty dramatic. Most of the dirt you're looking at is new as of that
fifty driving hours.
